That same leopard pattern, here in black on natural white — the highest contrast colourway in this range. Those spots step forward clearly, turning the cloth into a statement rather than a background.
Its ottoman weave keeps a cut edge calm, so this jersey stays good-natured to sew despite a bold pattern.
This is a cotton jacquard jersey at 220 g/m² in 100 % cotton. Its ottoman weave lays down fine crosswise ribs which give the pattern depth and keep a cut edge calm. At 130 cm wide, washed at 30 degrees; skip your iron, as it flattens that structure.
What Baumwoll-Jacquardjersey Emily Leo Schwarz auf Naturweiß by Swafing is suitable for
- Dresses, because a bold leopard works across a large area.
- Shirts beside plain trousers, because this pattern carries alone.
- Pairings with plain black, because cuffs then stay calm.

Frequently asked questions
Is this pattern printed or knitted in?
Knitted in. You see it from both sides, you feel that structure, and you need not worry about it flaking off or fading over time the way a print can.
Which needle, which stitch?
A jersey needle and a stretch stitch will do; an overlocker is nice but never required. Sew without pulling your fabric, or seams will ripple once the garment lies flat again.
Should I wash before cutting?
Yes, that pays off. Cotton pulls together slightly in a first wash. Wash your fabric once exactly as you will care for the finished piece, then your measurements still hold after sewing.
How should I wash this?
At 30 degrees, inside out, no bleach, no tumble dryer. That keeps your print crisp and the surface smooth. Hang your garment in shape to dry, so it needs hardly any smoothing afterwards.
